Time for class: "The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell" available now!

The Rising only lasted for three years. The repercussions will last forever. For Elaine Oldenburg, those repercussions are about to change everything.

"The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell" is available now from most ebook outlets. This Newsflesh-universe story fills in a piece of the past that has previously been left hidden, for good reason. Join Elaine as she tries to get her students out of an outbreak alive, and without casualties. (Try not to read the blurb on the landing page, as it's way spoilery.)

She's not going to save them all.

I'm really excited about this one. It's a story I've wanted to tell for quite some time, and it pulls no punches, which is always nice for me, since I fancy myself a horror author. Better yet, it will prepare you for what's to come. (It will also help feed my cats. As always, a major concern.)

This will also serve as your discussion post.

Zombies!

My sweetie is in the living room playing some shoot-the-zombies game, and the moaning + moody background music floating down the hall made for quite the soundtrack as I read. I felt so... so... SO...!!! for Elaine through this all. And for Alaric. And Scott and Brian and the janitor and... and... and...

This story is so harsh and so honest and so...! Apparently it has left me bereft of the ability to communicate without copious use of ellipses.

Please take this for the compliment it is, because I'm going to go crawl under the blankets and shiver quietly with my stuffed animals now. Not taking the laptop. The keys make too much noise as I type, and the fan would turn on at the worst moment. Okaythxbye.
